Indelible Harbor is a lovely and realistic cityscape that depicts a well loved harbor framed by a distinctive bridge and mirrored in the balmy waters surrounding the city. This well designed and orchestrated original canvas art piece incorporates many colors that compliment the design of the piece and a number of visually interesting and appealing organizational choices that beautify the city all the more. This breathtaking portrait of the sunset is presented in idealistic charm. The far off land is presented in warm colors in the flattering light of sunset and the dark boats and bridge give room for the viewer to focus on the reflection of the sun on the rippling waters. Yet the scene is painted in the dark, shadowy colors which makes it all the more dramatic and adds interest to the piece. The dualities, therefore, presented in this piece are compelling as well as thought provoking. Overall, however, the scene we are presented with is very charming, a lovely scene pieced together with warm, glowing yellows and pinks that give the whole scene an endearing feel that will enchant anyone who loves the thrills of harbors.
Indelible Harbor is presented on four canvases that suits the scene very well. The series of parallel lines laid out in careful designs across the canvas move toward the edges in such a manner as to keep the eye moving and exploring the many nuances of the painting. As the eyes follows the straight lines and eventually begins to wrap around the arcing lines of the bridge and the ripples in the ocean hugging the city, the viewer is able to explore and take note of the subtleties of light and shadow that the artist has skillfully represented in the painting. The masterfully rendered figures in this piece, the sky, the boats, harbor, and the water create an emotion, perhaps a nostalgia, that is rarely exemplified so well on canvas. This evocative piece is reminiscent, although very distinct from many of the original artworks available for purchase in CanvasPainting.com's Landscape Gallery where many artists have studied light and shadow in their artful pieces. A piece that is especially similar to Indelible Harbor is Night Sky Sparkles, that also explores the details and joys of urban life through it's beautiful portrayal of a classic subject in a new and original way.
